It's our monthly trip through Star Trek history and this time we're chatting about two 'sodes that are pretty much neck-and-neck quality-wise!
First up on TOS, it's the obnoxiously titled, "Is There in Truth No Beauty?" Originally airing back on October 18, 1968, this episode has Spock wearing a hilarious visor so he doesn't go insane, the Enterprise crew being forbidden to look at some ugly guy that lives in a box, the boys being unprofessional at a work dinner, and Diana Muldaur respawning as Dr. Miranda Jones, a scientist competing with Spock for a job!
Then over on TNG, it's the wildly entertaining Deja Q! First delighting audiences on February 3, 1990, this episode features the return of beloved mischief maker, Q, played by total legend John de Lancie, as well as the Enterprise crew trying to save a planet of lazily designed gleep glops from getting totally annihilated by a huge asteroid, Q streaking on the bridge, Riker turning down a couple of magical babes, and a surprise cameo from L.A. Law's Corbin Bernsen as "Q2"!
The Nexus is a WHM podcast where the guys futilely go through two Star Trek series at the same time. Thank you so much for continuing to support this weird thing we do—we couldn't do it without you!
